Amazon says the coronavirus outbreak has caused a surge in online shopping, and now the online giant is adding 100,000 new full-time and part-time positions across the United States to keep up with the demand

New York .

The jobs will be Amazon's fulfillment centers and its delivery network."We are seeing a significant increase in demand, which means our labor needs are unprecedented for this time of year," Amazon said in a blog post Monday. On Saturday, the company said customers could experience more extended delivery times than usual because of the high volume of orders as coronavirus spreads. The number of cases in the United States surpassed 4,000 on Monday.

kcsmitty24 Or is it because they’re being selfish and people are getting sick and they’re just replacing them because they don’t want to close down

AMAZON IS ROBBING HARD WORKING AMERICANS. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A HEALTH CRISIS !

And Bezos is asking his Whole Food employees to donate their sick leave to each other while he's making all that money? That bald-headed, little bastard needs to be publicly whipped.

Paid 5 weeks vacation, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, job security and wages with which to lead a decent existence on? Or...just another company making a killing on your usual pandemic? Any which way, it's All part of the American way.

Is Jeff Bezos really our messiah in disguise? 😂

Oh that's great...more people to share sick pay from

Things that make you go hmm... 🤔

Of course Bezos needs more worker ants to keep him super rich. Happy toiling!!!

'I've lived for 89 years and I've never met anyone as shameless as trump,' Mr. Buffett said

Now the morons who hate Amazon now love Amazon.

As great as this may sound..These jobs no doubt are TEMPWorkers WITHOUT ANY healthbenefits . *How is having this many people on top of ea other ANY SAFER than people going to a sport concert Broadway etc? Seriously, this is fueling the fire for the CoronavirusPandemic !😒

Please keep them in groups of less than 10 persons....

TAKEALOT mrdfood superbalist

Wearing rubber gloves that aren't special treated doesn't stop the virus. He picks up a package with the virus on it, the virus gets on the gloves and is transferred to the next package he picks up. And as far as I know you can't get the virus through the skin.

Will they be working from home?

Death Sentence! Working in a crowed shithole.

As human to human contact is to be limited ways to deliver the goods either through drones or other means is to be explored by the giants in the business. If this is the future then we have to act now...

Jim Jordan could lose primary now with new case filed against him vs 6/2, a lot at risk this second-no stalling for them to regroup and collect more campaign donations!

Worlds first trillionare coming soon. Everythings fine

The last 10 attempts to order I got no delivery date options available.

Trump will like that news but in reality how many will be permanent. But it will help job figures at a time they are likely to dip.

Does this mean that as soon as the demand calms down, 100,000 people will lose their job?

Seem's these online stores are making alot of money from this corona issue
